Homes for the Old Soldiers.

An executive session of the soldiers
home commission was held at Minneapo-
lis, few days ago, at which the deed of
the land at Minnehaha falls was formally
accepted in behalf OF the state OF Minnesota
and the home declared located at that
point. The cottage system, or "A
series OF small buildings instead OF
one large building was approved by
the commission, and the ex.
ecutive committee was instructed to
have the plans drawn accordingly. It was
decided to rent the Henry and Balch prop.
erty near the falls for temporary home,
and Secretary Sawyer, OF the commission,
will be placed in charge until the perma-
nent superintendent is elected at a future
meeting. Mayor Ames, Judge Burr OF St.
Paul, and Senator Pope OF Mankato
were also present at the meeting.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
the city by the commission for
it's gift to the disabled and unfortunate
survivors OF the war, to which the mayor
responded in a neat speech. He said the
city will remain loyal to the home in every
respect, and will extend it's park system
so as to include the institution and the
grounds connected Herewith. The execu.
tive committee was authorized to employ
a landscape architect to lay out and adorn
the temporary and permanent sites.

The President on the Purchase Of Bonds.

In regard to the purchase OF bonds by
the government, the president said to the
representatives OF the Associated Press:
The criticism upon the action cf the
treasury department for the refusal to ac-
cept any OF the offers OF bonds, it seems to
me, is inconsiderately made. In the first
place the offers were higher, considering the
lapse OF time they had to run, than they
had heretofore been and did not present
as favorable terms to the government.
In the next place, the number offered was
much less than on former occasions. These
facts may well give to the inference that
people holding bonds preferred them to
money. The government wants to buy
bonds to answer the requirements OF the
law in relation to the sinking fund, and 1T
is willing to advance interest on such
bonds as are not bought and thus supply
any immediate demand there may be for
money. These two movements Of the
treasury department are calculated to re-
lease good deal OF m oney, and turn it in
to business channels if required. But they
are both executive acts, and must be per-
formed with a due regard to the in.
terests OF the government as one
of the parties to these transac.
tions. There is no disposition to drive
% sharp bargain with the holders OF the
bonds, but it will not do to say that there
is no side to the bargain except that OF
seller and holder, and that these bonds
must be bought and the interest advanced
on such terms as their interest alone indi-
Gates. The competition offered in the sale
Of bonds is just way to fix their price, and
will be fairly pursued as long as it seems
to protect against an undue advantage on
the part OF sellers, and results in offers
which, upon business considerations, ought
to regulate their value as between private
parties. The government ought not to be
expected, regardless OF any public purpose
to identity itself with any private business
or speculation.
